I think it's ridiculous having a top 100 albums of all time - period. Do we all have identical music tastes? It's like having a top 10 flavours of ice cream and putting strawberry as number 1, just because most people in a certain sample group like strawberry. Blistering logic, clearly.
Most popular album on the other hand, may be a more suitable title.

These albums were voted for by the public of the United Kingdom. You don't need to have 'all the same tastes' the fact that 'OK Computer' came first showed it reached beyond genre preferences. That's like saying having a Democracy is stupid because not everyone will like the same party...Fact is, it came first by a popular vote, like it, or dislike it, it has rightly & democratically earned it's number one spot. The Beatle's were good, but VERY over-rated and I, for one, was GLAD to see that the usual suspects didn't get the number one, but a band that continues to push the envelope with every album.
heres the top 20 list.
01. Radiohead - OK Computer
02. U2 - The Joshua Tree
03. Nirvana - Nevermind
04. Michael Jackson - Thriller
05. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
06. Oasis - Definitely Maybe
07. The Beatles - Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band
08. Madonna - Like a Prayer
09. Guns N' Roses - Appetite For Destruction
10. The Beatles - Revolver
11. R.E.M. - Automatic for the People
12. The Beatles - The White Album
13. Queen - A Night at the Opera
14. Coldplay - Parachutes
15. Oasis - (What's the Story) Morning Glory
16. Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill
17. Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin IV
18. The Verve - Urban Hymns
19. Jimi Hendrix - Are you Experienced
20. The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead
^ i cant say i agree with this list
01. Radiohead - OK Computer (Good but the Bends is better)
02. U2 - The Joshua Tree (Don't know why this is here)
03. Nirvana - Nevermind (Deserved even tho i'm not a big fan)
04. Michael Jackson - Thriller (I suppose, even tho I don't like MJ)
05. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon (Amazing, should have been #1)

11. R.E.M. - Automatic for the People (Great album, about right)
12. The Beatles - The White Album (About right probably)

All these are just my opinion, don't hurt me :greenie:
I think my top 10 wouldve been
1. Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
2. Led Zeppelin - IV
3. Radiohead - The Bends
4. Nirvana - Nevermind
5. Coldplay - Parachutes
6. Jeff Buckley - Grace (Don't understand why this was sooo low)
7. REM - Automatic for the People
8. Stone Roses - Stone Roses
9. David Bowie - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
10. Joy Division - Closer
What do you think? were there any that weren't even in the top 100 that shouldv'e been?
I think David Grey - White Ladder, I can't stop listening to it.
I don't think these types of lists work out because you can't be fair and democratic about art. It's art, it means something different to everyone.
Ok Computer is a great album, but I don't think it should've been N.1. Perhaps more Led Zeppelin or Pink Floyd.
Wow. OK as #1. Interesting choice.
